Marauders: Weapon Tierlist and How to get all Guns

Deutsch English

It’s only been a day since the release of the extraction shooter Marauders, and one of the biggest themes is the weapons in the game. Which ones should you take with you if you find them? Which one should you play? What’s the best weapon? We will answer all this for you with the tierlist in the following article.

Why you should read on: Unlike the most well-known extraction shooter, Escape from Tarkov, weapon damage in Marauders isn’t based primarily on ammo. In Marauders, each weapon has its stats regarding damage, recoil, and rate of fire. Of course, in most cases in Marauders, the larger the ammo, the more damage you cause. However, several outliers of the large calibers cause far less damage, and within one ammo type, there are always differences between the different weapons.

The Tierlist of all Weapons in Marauders

There are already a total of 36 different firearms in a total of 7 categories. These are all kinds of rifles, submachine guns, and other gadgets. The rare flamethrower puts the crown on the whole thing. But the big question quickly arises: Which weapons are the best?

To answer that, we have put together a tierlist of all weapons, without much text and explanation, so you can see at a glance how good which weapon is overall.

All Weapons in the Marauders Weapon Tierlist

• S Tier
  • Mosin Obrez, Sawed Off, Krása Rifle, SVT-40, BAR, Bren MK2
• A Tier
  • Mauser M712, VZ-Klobb, Jackhammer, Thompson, Uzi, PPSH-41, De Lisle Carbine, M1941 Johnson, M16, DP28
• B Tier
  • 1911 Government, Liberator, MAC-10, MP40, Mat-49, M1A1 Para, STG-44
• C Tier
  • 1911 Stamp, Luger P08, Trench Gun, Heavy Thompson, Sten MKII, M50 Reising, K1 Assault, MG 42, LPO Flamethrower
• D Tier
  • Welrod, Terminator, Viper MKI, M45 “K”

Of course, the classification of weapons is not only based on the damage they cause. In addition to the direct values of the weapon, we also included the availability and the possibility of the attachments. That’s why the UZI, for example, landed so high, as did the SVT-40. The latter not only deals a lot of damage but can also often be found on normal opponents on almost all maps.

The new Navy Outpost area has also made getting 7.62 ammo or the more powerful large LMGs much easier. Previously, the only enemies with weapons of this type were the NPCs on the damaged frigates.

The 3 Best Primary Weapons in Marauders

While the tierlist above clearly shows which weapons occupy the top tiers, this section recaps the top 3 primary weapons with an explanation of why they are the best. This list will not only contain S-class weapons because some of these are more difficult to obtain, require more expensive and rarer ammunition, and are, therefore, not always the best choice.

The following three primary weapons are, therefore, weapons that are easy to obtain overall and also have good values. Another point is the ability to attach attachments and how easy it is to obtain them.

1. SVT-40
   • The SVT-40 is a semi-automatic rifle and uses 54-R ammunition. Due to the great damage, it deals and the fact that it is relatively easy to get early on through the NPC opponents on the various maps, it is clearly one of the best weapons.
   • Unfortunately, the SVT-40 comes with a negative point, the high recoil. You should fire targeted individual shots at your opponents, ideally at a distance.
2. UZI
   • It can be bought from Major Rosie from the start. The UZI alone is excellent due to its relatively high rate of fire and low recoil. Due to the attachments, which can also be bought from Major Rosie, it is not one of the best weapons for nothing.
   • Major Rosie sells wooden stocks from the start and an expanded magazine after you gained her faction’s reputation. A silencer can also be unlocked early in the crafting menu. It is through these attachments that the UZI unleashes its true potential.
3. DP28
   • The DP28 is a somewhat rarer LMG. High rate of fire, a large magazine paired with serious damage, and low recoil. It sounds like the perfect weapon. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to get. That’s why it only ranks 3rd here.
   • On the new map, “Navy Outpost” you can loot them from the NPCs with luck or rarely find them in chests.

You might be surprised that you see the UZI in the top three but no sign of weapons like the BAR or the STG-44. This is simply because of their availability. It’s usually the case that the strongest weapons are also the hardest to get. That’s why we decided to include other variables in our article.

The 3 Best Secondary Weapons in Marauders

When it comes to secondary weapons, we have a little less choice. In addition, they are represented in almost all areas of the animal list. So it’s not surprising that our top three secondary weapons here consist only of S and A-class guns. Although we considered adding the Luger P08 as an option since you can always find it on your ship, making it the easiest pistol to obtain. Plus, it’s free. But joking aside, here are the top 3 secondary weapons.

1. Sawed Off
   • A shotgun as a secondary weapon, we don’t have to say anymore. Not necessarily the best choice if you only want to play with a secondary weapon, but just the right choice as a backup when your DP28 magazine runs out again.
   • Very deadly, but unfortunately limited range even for a shotgun. It can be found relatively easily on the Penal Colony Beta 5 map from the prisoner NPCs.
2. Mosin Obrez
   • Not only is the Mosin Obrez incredibly strong, but it’s also more accurate than it might be supposed to be. You can send your opponent to the ground with two shots to the upper body. It’s always worth collecting a Mosin Obrez, especially if your secondary weapon space is still free.
   • The same ammo is used here as it’s in the SVT-40, the 54-R. Since they take up two inventory slots, you should consider whether it’s worth using the Mosin Obrez in a loot or pistol run.
3. Mauser M712
   • Don’t underestimate this pistol. It’s playable without attachments, but with an extended magazine and a stock, you hardly need any other weapon. You have the option of playing the Mauser M712 semi or fully automatically. You can also buy the pistol and its attachments from Captain Wolff, so you can always fall back on them.
   • Our tip: try the Mauser M712 even if it is tempting to play it fully automatic, sometimes in semi-automatic mode. Now, if you can click relatively quickly, you’ll get a similar rate of fire but with even less recoil.

Here you will mainly find weapons that are more than just a normal pistol. Sure, because they simply outperform normal pistols such as the 1911 Government. The 1911 Government is probably still the best choice of the other representatives since it has one more bullet in the magazine than the 1911 Stamp and deals a little more damage. You’d better stay away from the Welrod, though.
